Start Your ProjectWhat Sod Installation Covers
Sod is grass grown on a farm and cut into rolls with the roots and a thin layer of soil still attached. We lay it tight across prepped ground so it knits together into one solid lawn. You skip the bare, muddy months that come with seeding and get a green lawn right away.
The grass has to match the yard. Bermuda wants full sun and shrugs off heat and dry spells. St. Augustine is the pick for shadier yards. Zoysia takes some shade and gives a thick, cushiony lawn. Buffalograss is a native, low-water choice for open, sunny spots. We help you choose instead of selling one type for every yard.
Good sod starts with the ground under it. We clear the old grass and weeds, level the dirt so water runs off instead of pooling, and set the rolls so the seams are tight. North Texas clay is heavy and slow to drain, so the prep work is where a lawn is won or lost.
- New sod for bare, patchy or tired lawns
- Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia or Buffalograss, matched to your yard
- Old grass and weeds cleared out first
- Ground leveled so water drains off, not into low spots
- Fresh sod watered in and the scraps hauled away
Why Sod Beats Waiting on Seed
Seed is cheap, but in North Texas it fights heat, hard clay and heavy rain that can wash it away before it roots. A thin, half-grown lawn also leaves plenty of open dirt for weeds to move in. Sod covers the ground the day it goes down, holds the soil in place and gives weeds far less room to take hold. You get a finished lawn now instead of babying seed for a season and hoping it fills in.

What Customers Are Saying
Why Homeowners Pick S&L for Sod
The Right Grass for Your Yard
We do not push one grass on every lawn. We look at your sun, shade and water, then match you to Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia or Buffalograss so the lawn actually thrives in North Texas.
Prep Done Properly
A lawn lives or dies on what is under it. We clear the old growth and level the heavy clay so water drains off, not into low spots, before a single roll of sod goes down.
Green the Day We Finish
You are not waiting a season for seed to fill in. We lay the sod, water it in and haul off the scraps, so you walk out to a full lawn the day we finish the job.

Call (469) 340-2030How much does sod installation cost in Irving?
It depends on the size of the lawn, the grass you pick, and how much old grass and leveling the yard needs first. We will measure the space and give you a free quote before any sod is ordered.
Which grass should I pick for my yard?
Start with sun and water. Bermuda does best in full sun and handles heat and dry spells. St. Augustine is the better choice for shady yards. Zoysia takes some shade and grows thick. Buffalograss is a native, low-water option for open, sunny yards. We help you match the grass to your space.
When is the best time to lay sod in North Texas?
Warm-season grasses root best in late spring through summer, while the soil is warm. Sod can go down at other times, but it needs more careful watering to get established. We will tell you what makes sense for your grass and your yard before you commit.
How do I get my yard ready for sod?
You do not have to. We handle the prep: clearing the old grass and weeds and leveling the ground so water drains off instead of pooling. Good prep is the part most people skip, and it is why some lawns fail. We build it into the job.
How soon can I walk on new sod?
Keep off it as much as you can for the first couple of weeks while the roots grab the soil underneath. Keeping it watered during that stretch matters more than anything. We will walk you through how to care for it before we leave.
Do you haul away the old grass?
Yes. We clear out the old grass, weeds and sod scraps and haul them off. The yard is raked down and cleaned up before we go, which is the part our customers mention most.
